In 2021, Guarantano decided to transfer to Washington State. There, he started in two of three games played, totaling 304 passing yards and a touchdown, alongside three interceptions.
Since then, Jarrett Guarantano has been looking to find some stability in the professional scene. He had preseason stints with the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos, but wasn’t able to stick on a 53 man roster.
For a time in the 2022 NFL preseason, Jarrett was a top three signal caller in overall passer rating.
